WIELDING THE KNIFE FOR HOPE AND CURE.
The Department of Surgical Oncology at MMHRC offers treatments for all types of cancer. It is backed by well-equipped radiology and imaging facilities. This department is manned by site-specific specialists. It also has state-of-the-art operation theatres and intensive care units.
The Department of Surgical Oncology routinely performs procedures in patients with head and neck, breast and gynecological malignancies, and soft tissue tumors. All cases are planned by the tumor board, which is a multidisciplinary board including Radiation and Medical Oncologists. At MMHRC we follow evidence-based management protocols which are accepted worldwide.
